Tucker, who has a total of more than 14 million social media followers combined on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, has opened for icons like Jennifer Lopez, Flo Rida, Ciara and Pitbull. She will perform her popular original song and present her video 聽also known as 鈥渢he song that saves lives.鈥 Tucker wrote these songs for her music videos to inspire young people to respect their own and others鈥 inclusion and diversity.
Extending her message beyond her music, Tucker is using her vast social platform for change. She was recently featured for retracing her roots to Poland for a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of her maternal grandparents鈥 experience during the Holocaust on ABC鈥檚 鈥淕ood Morning America鈥 and other national media outlets. This experience was captured on-camera for her followers in a recently released 鈥淗ow to: Never Forget鈥 Holocaust education docuseries. The series of short episodes can be found on all of Tucker鈥檚 social platforms to educate and enlighten her audience, who a national survey recently revealed may not even be aware of the Holocaust.
鈥淎s we lose the generations from all backgrounds who bore witness and survived injustice, bigotry and watershed events in history in their lifetime, who better than their grandchildren to stand up and speak out against hate, bullying and discrimination, and advocate for better education and understanding,鈥 said Bonnie Kaye, of Kaye Communications, Inc., co-chair and sponsor of the event, along with her husband, Jon Kaye.
